The day before, Reve had finally visited his counselor. It was just after he had sent off Myniene. The demihuman of the Vagoroth council couldn't stay in Narva any longer. She had duties.

As soon as she confirmed that Reve could take care of herself, she boarded a private ship to Azea, the beast continent.

Anyways, after she left and Reve finally attained true freedom, his first stop was the counselor's office. Now, counselors were staff of Narva that was responsible for assisting the students.

With one of the counselors' help, Reve finally picked his classes and registered for them. 

The thing about Narva classes was that they were divided into two main faculty; Magic Faculty and Ki Faculty. The exception to that were the grey classes, but very few people picked those classes since they supposedly provided little benefit to the students.

The five main classes Reve picked were Arcane Class(I), Magia Class, Magic Combat, Mind-Diving Class, Mana Control Class.

The reasons behind the classes were quite easy to understand. Each of the classes touched upon a fundamental of Arcanism. Arcane Class taught Arcanism in general. Magia Class focused on magical knowledge, which would always prove helpful. Magic Combat was concerned with how to effectively use one's magic power. Mind-Diving Class was what they called Meditation practice. Mana Control was about achieving a delicate manipulation of mana. Although Reve used magi now, the basis behind mana manipulation still corresponded to it.

When it come to his elective classes, Reve went wild. He picked the maximum number of classes he could. Most of them appealed to something that he was very interested in. In fact, he valued his electives more than his five main classes.

His seven electives were Magical Studies(General), Ancient History, Enchantment, Practical Ritualism, Popular Alchemy, Magical Plane Geometry, Combat Study.

For starters, Magical Studies(General) was a bit like Magia Class. He picked Ancient History since he was a big lover of historical events. Enchantment class was necessary for him. In fact, he planned to focus on that class more than his Arcane class. Practical Ritualism was chosen to stabilize his knowledge of ritualism since he seemed to be needing them a lot. Popular Alchemy was something he wasn't used to. It interested him so he picked it. Magical Plane Geometry would help him a lot with Arcanism, especially his magical circles. 

Combat Study was a grey class. Despite the students' view of grey classes, Reve actually was very interested in Combat Study Class. The study covered the technicalities of battle, be it unharmed fights or battles involving forms of energy. With this class, he could evolve the Amethyst Style.

With all the crazy classes he picked, it seemed like he would be very busy in the following year. 

It was just how he liked it. He didn't plan on beginning his plans before acquiring all the information he needed.

He was playing a long game. 

What made him change his mind about starting his plans right away was the appearance of the defense force and the dragonkin. Having witnessed that crazy event, he realized he was not invulnerable. At everywhere existed a threat!

...…..

Current time.

Reve quietly listened to Grand Mage Helias lecture...but he couldn't stop his face from twitching occasionally.

Finally, he could not endure it any longer. He faced the student beside him once more and asked, "Are you sure he plans on teaching till the end of the term?"

"Yes," sighed the student.

Not to attract any attention, he whispered, "I get it. This is torture, but Grand Mage Helias seems adamant that this is just what we need. He said that ninety percent of us have shaky fundamentals. I agree with him. However, what about the other ten percent? What are they to do while he goes over what they already mastered?"

Reve slightly frowned, "I see…He seems quite passionate about the study of Arcanism."

"Yes, he is. Perhaps that's why he is torturing us. Who knows?"

That was the last conversation Reve had till the end of the class. 

Afterward, he mingled with a few courageous students before moving on to the next class.

....

Many hours later.

Despite the absence of the sun, it was already evening time and Reve was exhausted.

He dragged his body out of the hall. However, before he could enter his campus, he was interrupted by two students.

"Hello," politely smiled Reve as he observed them.

"Hi there, Reve of Azea," joked one of them.

It turns out that the person was the same student Reve conversed with during Arcane Class.

Reve yelped, "I'm not going to live that down, am I? Niall, right?"

"Oh yes, you aren't. This is my friend, Remont," Niall introduced the other student.

After Reve greeted the man called Remont, Niall quipped, "You look tired. Heh, the first day can be very horrendous. I shan't take much of your time. Well, you see, my friend and I are of the belief that you would make a fine addition to our club."

Reve screamed inwardly while maintaining a straight face, 'Uhh-- a club, again?' 

He had been approached by multiple people with the same agenda on his way to the campus. If not for wanting to keep a jovial image, he would have dashed to his room the moment he heard the word club. 

But he didn't do that.

Reve of Azea was known for his beautifully warm smile and polite nature. He would never act rude.

Hence, Reve said, "I believe I'm not ready to join club activities. Right now, I'm preoccupied with getting accustomed to the ways of NIRA. I'm sorry."

Clubs were a hot topic in NIRA. Supposedly, each club had innate benefits that were irresistible to students. Hence, getting into a club was something every student wanted, but it wasn't as easy as it sounded. Each club had its requirement, which was always a bit hard to achieve.

This way, club membership would only be available to the elites of NIRA. As for why Reve was being pursued by lots of clubs, if he had to guess, it would be because of his popularity. His identity as a demihuman would be just what the clubs would need to increase their populating thereby making them high in demand.

Having figured this easily, it vexed Reve. He was just seen as a popularity booster by the clubs
